New SEAT Ibiza FR First Drive

  • The new SEAT Ibiza is here and seeing as I own a third generation Ibiza FR, I thought it'd be rude not to have a go in the latest FR. The model tested here is in a gorgeous Desire Red and is fitted with a 1.0 litre turbocharged engine producing 113bhp. 0-62 comes in 9.3 seconds and the top speed is 121 mph.
    So on paper then, the new FR appears to be a bit on the slow side, but cars aren't driven on paper, so what's it like on the open road? I took it to the infamous Evo Triangle see what's what.

      In regard to the ST, that's not really comparable to the FR, the ST-Line is a better match of you ask me and out the two cars the ST-Line is more fun but the Ibiza feels more grown up and has more space.

      Three month wait? I ordered a 115 FR Sport, manual today in Desire Red. Mine's an 18 week wait :D I was going to go for a Fiesta ST Line X but there's no way Ford can justify that extra price tag IMO, having closely gone over both cars and taken them out twice each. The standard ST Line is a bit more competitive but the cloth seat trims feel properly cheap. Whereas the seats on the FR Sport.....different class.

      @@ronshephard9429 Yeah it's certainly much roomier in the back of the Ibiza - the latter feels like a much bigger car than the Fiesta tbh. I really liked the Fiesta, don't get me wrong, but it didn't win the fight. It was out of the Fabia, Fiesta and Ibiza for me, but once I'd seen, sat in and driven the Ibiza, the choice was pretty straightforward. So much more for your money in the Seat.

      It's the same story on pretty much all the other cars in its class though. Although tbf, they are a paid option on the rival cars! Thing is, with climate control nowadays, the rear windows don't get opened anywhere near as much and I'm not bothered myself because it's only my kids in the back occasionally.

      Hi there, thanks for watching, and thanks for the comment. To be honest, the FR and the Polo aren't really comparable to the Fiesta ST as that is a hot hatch and the others aren't. I've not driven the polo so I can't comment, although I wouldn't have thought it would feel that different from the Ibiza as they are built on the same platform.
      If I was picking between those cars I go for the Fiesta ST as that will be the most fun. Hope this helps.

    If we convert 200Nm into foot pounds by dividing it by 1.355818 (200 / 1.355818) we get... 147.5124. So this car makes 148 lb-ft of torque.

    I payed less for my 1.9 TDI sport rider 2 . This new engines and all accessories are fake and cost too much. You must raise your foot to reach the brake pedal. Windshield reflects everything and you get blind on sunny day.Start/Stop button should not be there near the gearbox.You can easily click it by mistake.
